Bayview Secondary School

Bayview Secondary School is a fictional high school in St. Paul, Minnesota, where all of the participants of SOTF ACT v4 attended before being moved to the island.

Founded in 1952, Bayview was the result of a donation from the Minnesota State governor's office requesting another school within a brand new subdivision. Bayview has generally set the standards for academics, especially in mathematics, and has a flourishing drama program. The crown jewel of Bayview's athletics program are the hockey and basketball teams, who are consistantly ranked amongst the top 10 in the state. All in all, it's a pretty good school, and while it's got what some would call 'character' and isn't the cream of the crop in terms of public schooling, it does the trick, and most of its student body is proud to be there. Bayview's mascot is the husky, and its' colors are dark blue, white, and gold.

Science Department
Located on the first floor of the school, the science wing is exactly as the name would imply. Classes for Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, and all other types of sciences are held here. There is also a large science lab in place here, and the teacher's lounge is nearby.

Math Wing
The mathematics wing is located on the second story of the school building and houses all the school's math classes, from beginner's algebra to advanced calculus.

Gymnasium
The gym is a large, wide-open space where the athletic teams ply their trade. Retractable bleachers line the south wall, and the space is large enough that a portable wall can separate the gym into two for the use of gym classes. Basketball nets are present at each end of the gymnasium, and the walls show off the many pennants that the school has won over the years.

Library
As one might imagine, the school's library is filled with, well, books. Tables and chairs are placed around the room in neat little groups, and everything always seems to be in its rightful place... perhaps because Mrs. Collins, the school's librarian, has horrible OCD.

Swimming Pool
Large, full-length windows surround the school's indoor pool, allowing the light to shine in from outside. The tile surrounding the pool is marble in color, and benches line the walls. The pool itself is a standard Olympic-sized swimming pool, and seems to be almost constantly in use by the school's most diligent swim team members.

Drama Room
The first thing one notices when they enter the drama room is the eccentric paint job that encompasses the entire room -- a design by some of the more artsy drama students. Unlike other classrooms, the desks here are in no particular order, and can sometimes be found simply shoved up against the wall. The drama director, unsurprisingly, is a pretty laid back individual.

Language Arts Wing
Located on the first floor of the school building, the language arts wing houses all the school's English, Spanish, and other foreign language classes. The Principal's office is also in this area.

Cafetorium
The cafetorium is a combination cafeteria and auditorium. There's enough space for chairs to arranged to view any kind of assembly or speaking arrangement, but during the day it also acts as a cafeteria, complete with angry lunch ladies and poor food. Vending machines are scattered throughout the place, but this is generally the social centre of the school.

Campus
The school campus is very well maintained. The grass is always kept neat and short, and the hedges around the school are always kept trimmed. The sports fields are all in immaculate condition, and a nice quad area has been set up for the students outside, with tables, chairs, and a gazebo.
